Default illegitimacy

http://newsweek.washingtonpost.com/o...rital_sex.html

With a special shout-out to the Mormons toward the end:

Quote:
"There are no illegitimate children, only illegitimate parents," Witte says.
So, in a nation awash in illegitimate parents, why aren't we hearing more from religious and political leaders about this widespread social problem?
Why aren't Catholic bishops withholding communion from illegitimate parents? Why are evangelical and black church leaders campaigning for opposite-sex marriage to save the family? Why aren't progressive Christian leaders pushing for more social programs to help children conceived out of wedlock? Why aren't Mormon leaders opposing polygamous relationships (which are common) rather than polygamy (which is not)?
The only counsel I can think of on this topic has been in the form of increasing the baby market for childless couples, more commonly known as LDS social services adoption.
